Now firmly esconsed at Chateau Melo somewhere in mid Italy. It's a really lovely area and his house is nicely remote.

So to earn my keep I set about demolishing a failed polytunnel. i was doing fine until I discovered they'd buried all the supports at least a foot underground. Digging them out gave me huge blisters on my hands so i had to stop. I was a little relieved as it saved me from "mad dogs and english(wo)men go out in the noonday sun".

so I had a loooong bath (he has a solar water heater so there's oodles of hot water) and then went out and got a pizza.

Think i might be enjoying this ??

Can you send me a small case of Chateau Melo?

"This aged mellow red from Italy is completely organic. From the sunset of the label, to the wild effects on the palette, and the soothing touch of tannin, this is a wine to be enjoyed in your solar-heated bath" ('A Staggeringly Large and Heavy Book about Little-Known Wines of the World' by Professor Triloqvíst 2008)

jerome's on to my pathetic attempts to keep myself humble, lol!

when de anander decapitalises, i'm not the only one, now she's off sailing instead of informing us of our dates with destiny... it sucks to think my lazy typing might be lowering the 'bon ton' of ET, though.

just say, j!

i've already cut out tobacco and astrology, hitting the shift key more often is a small price to pay for such esteemed company...
